Meet Mrs. Funes
Hello, My name is Marie Funes, and I serve as the Parent Involvement Coordinator for Calhoun Elementary School.  To tell you a little about myself, I am originally from California and attended school there before coming to Calhoun.  I am married to my husband, Jose Funes, and I have three children, one at CES, one at CHS, and one at UGA.  I am fortunate to be bilingual and use my second language(Spanish) frequently in my position at CES.  Please let me know if I can be of any assistance to you or your family.
